Holoshimmer Metallic Garen - Pauwenblauw - 250 yards

I was a bit skeptical about working with metallic thread, but this one surprised me—the polyester lamination kept it from fraying or breaking in my machine. The color is exactly that deep, iridescent peacock blue, and it shows up beautifully against dark fabrics.

The flat, ribbon-like foil glides through my machine without shredding, even at higher speed. I've stitched about 80 yards so far and the holographic shimmer is just as dazzling on every pass. It's a bit slippery to handle at first, but once you get the tension right, the results are gorgeous.

The peacock blue catches light like actual crushed gems, and the 250-yard spool is generous for embroidering a full garment. Even with my basic machine, it fed smoothly without fraying.
